Dan Thor shoots high pheasants at Upperwood Estate, Saddleworth

Watch Dan Thor taking on high pheasants at Upperwood Estate in Saddleworth. Although the weather wasn't ideal, we managed to capture Dan shooting some of the amazing high birds in the beautiful surroundings. James Crowther, the gamekeeper of the Upperwood Estate, treated us to a new drive which he calls the Extreme Drive at the moment. Apart from organising a great day for us, he is also giving you the opportunity to come up with a name for the Extreme Drive. Comment your suggestions below and we will pass them on to James. Follow our Instagram account to find out what he names the drive.

“Thor’s Despair” is clearly the best name for that drive!

[@brianseage5452]

True. So many very high birds are just pricked and fly on to die later. Extreme birds require excellent marksmanship and a lot of luck!

[@treynorth7269]

The number of birds amazes me, here in the US, I don’t believe that there are that many birds in one location.

[@inescorte9807]

The drive, ir should be "The Huntsman Drive" 😊

[@p-ran7034]

Some variation on "dam high" seems fitting given the location

[@TMFShooting]

Excellent Video *****

[@christopherpeacock6094]

Fantastic and that drive should be call thor the drive of gods

[@chrishart9841]

Awesome shoot! I'd call the drive the 'Extreme Ravine". 👍

[@helpyourlesserman]

"River deep, extreme highs". Great video Dan & Jack Pyke team.👌🏼To quote the legend Dave Carrie "By heck, some crossers with height & wind speed". Another great on the high pheasants.

[@stephenbrown5844]

The hen hole, is a good name guys😊👍❤️🇬🇧nice drive for definite

[@shanewhittaker2557]

The Gods would be a good name for the extreme drive 😊

[@CattyShackHunter]

Great video guys! Brings back some good memories. Those birds are just on another level!

[@RichyParton]

Nice coverage of the shooting that day. I watched it twice it was that good! Id call it “The Blackbird Drive” because that’s the size of em 😊. 4 and 20 baked in a pie!

[@Retro-Sprocket]

Incredible day of shooting. A name for the drive, I’d go with “Into the Cosmos”.

[@susscrofa52]

Heaven High

[@douglashintzman2224]

"Angel's Envy"

[@woolfiejake]

Fantastic video Dan. The drive should be called "stairway to heaven" or as it'll no doubt get shortened to just "stairways". As you and you pal were chatting, you mentioned how stunning upperwood is, and how every time you visit, it shows different beauty. Much like the stairway to heaven! Weather your shooting that drive on the 1st of September or the 1st of February - you'll always be looking up past the step like terrain towards heaven, attempting to catch a glimpse of an angel whilst pulling down monsters.

[@brianpilmer4727]

I would call it James’s giants !

[@shanewhittaker2557]

Good shooting,, name for the extreme drive (Stratosphere)

[@andrewbayes2961]

That Damn drive!

[@brianseage5452]

Go pro is OK. But a few frames of ShotKam would have so clearly shown the huge lead and line accuracy TrueType high pheasants require. Gorgeous scenery and such well presented birds.

[@krisprice1233]

What a great day! A name for the drive, "stargazer" would be apt due to the altitude of some of those birds just look like dots in the sky!

[@nigeldurn3538]

very good, i would call the drive upper upper drive.

[@esbenrandedal2809]

Great shoot. Could be called “The stone wall”

[@shayokane604]

Good shooting big man

[@jkoysza1]

A suggestion from South Carolina: consider naming it "The Foggy Bottom Drive".

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Great hunt n shoot guys!! Loved it

[@paulharrison6417]

[@Cats.Hammers.]

The Hail Mary. Just praying something might connect!

[@rayeastwood5523]

Pyke Drive 🍷

[@Andy_Wills]

Name it after Graham Peters… as he pops up in most game shooting videos comments 👍🏻

[@grantcook5376]

It’s got to be called the open sky drive , because that’s all you see when those pheasants are in the air

[@jonojohnson1810]

Driving Mcdrive face ….. would love to shoot there looks amazing and on the doorstep

[@alanbrain8905]

I would call the drive DAMBUSTERS

[@davidserdar1143]

The Klondike.

[@Shooting1947]

Names for your drive The Heavens or Skyscraper !!!!

[@tony130675ed]

Binoculars!!!! Cause that’s what you need to seem them !!

[@richhalliday6236]

Surely it has to be called "High Hen" drive after what Dan was descibing about the Birds?

[@ryandowd2259]

Being a local lad. I'd say 'Big Chew'

[@CalmSardines-ii3rp]

Valley ground

[@clarewatson1397]

Name of drive: Thor’s Hammer

[@pim1234]

Dot-drive, because you only see dots instead of birds ...

[@mathewhampton2557]

What about calling it “High Pyke”? Nice little play on words

[@simonwilson6479]

Dam-nation

[@ChrisSmith-mj4uj]

Call that drive the ratio because it’s the only thing that gets killed on there 😂

[@markspeller5722]

I reckon most shots would stand and think 'F-in-Eck' great stand.

[@CM-tk3je]

I would name the drive “Sky High” or “Karman Line” the name given to the area on the edge of space.

[@gundogsdirect]

or "have that" drive .....because when you hit one you say "Have It"

[@ShotawayFilms]

Free Bird 😈

[@alexmauracher6097]

"Nirvana "

[@robinsoutherland9991]

Heartbreak hill

[@stevenblack6874]

That dam bank or Dry stone bank

[@UlsterOutdoorsandFieldsports]

Thor's Tears or Valhalla

[@rossforbes8403]

I would call the drive screamers

[@HammerHeadGarage]

"Alpine Drive"

[@michaelmaxwell5586]

Wilderness Hill?

[@petes.4073]

Sorry chaps can’t go along with this, better luck than ballistics. Kill to cartridge ratio 1/10.Perhaps we need to rethink our respect for our quarry.

[@thegameofgames4741]

Heather drop .

[@fieldsportswithspeed]

Surely it’s got to be named ‘viagra’ 🍆🍆😍 Great video team 👌

[@welsworthy]
